CNN reports President Donald Trump may be predicting high gas prices to drop as soon as he pulls out of Iran, but right now the numbers are destroying him.
Trump’s self-imposed war triggered the largest four week increases in gas prices since 1991,” said CNN Analyst Hary Enten, and nobody in Trump’s administration should be looing forward to the midterms right now.
“If I was in the White House, I'd be shaking,” said Enten. “I'd be shaking in place because there'd be nowhere to hide. And of course, if I was in Congress running at the end of this year, I'd be shaking as well.”
Only one in five independents, approve of Trump’s handling of gas prices.
“You can't win elections when only one in five independents approve of you on gas prices,” said Enten, adding that less than three in five of Trump's own base approve of him on gas prices. “I mean, my goodness gracious, we're talking about Joe Biden levels right here l when it comes to approving of Trump on gas prices.”
The gas price question leads to questions about Trump’s performance on the economy, which also should have Trump and his associates trembling. When CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins asked pointed out that issues on inflation have toppled other presidents, Enten was quick to compare Trump to the most obvious president in recent history toppled by inflation.
Jimmy Carter went down while 44 points underwater on inflation and the economy, said Enten. And Trump is one point away at 45 points.
“Down he goes,” Enten said of Trump. “Down he goes into the deep blue sea.”
